A thing of beauty is a joy forever...

 On my dear cousin Manisha's kind,encouraging words, I am back to writing. Thank you dear. I saw a  beautiful movie  after a long long time. You gotto see it to believe it.
Airlift..a story of the biggest evacuation in the history. Even with such  lousy government officials, escapist-ministers and compassionless people of  our country, I am proud to be an Indian, yet another time. 

Sanjeev kohli of the movie, is the actual hero of the story, according to me. Even with his boring job and an unfit body, he still mustered all his stamina to receive and make some calls .Pun intended. On a serious note, he proved that he has a very fit spirit for his country though. His untiring efforts to put some sense into the minister of external affairs and his effortless reasoning to convince the commercial pilots were just too applaudable, if not very kick-ass style..

It was Akshay’s best performance so far or as far as I have seen. I was seriously getting sick of his so-called comedy movies, where, seeing him make a fool of himself, I personally felt “what a waste” it was, of his talent and looks. This movie could be a new beginning for his career. Going de-glam in this movie, Akshay looked at his best. The right amount of chemistry with Nimrat Kaur showed the maturity of the director, Raja Krishna Menon. 

This movie proves that, it is very much possible to make a great movie even without a mushy love story, Emran Hashmi-style smooching, running-around the trees-duets, Item number ,designer clothes or even a glamorous Heroin.

When the Indian flag came up at the Iraq-Jordan border, I hope every Indian felt the same pride and zeal  that I felt. It is a must watch if you want to realise the true meaning of life, yet again. Not the wealth you acquired, not the number of friends you add on Facebook, not the number of people you made jealous by showing off your designer stuff, not how much you spent on your kid’s birthday party, but,only the warmth and joy you carry in your heart, is what really keeps you happy.

    It is based on bringing back the Indians to their motherland who were living in Kuwait while Iran invaded Kuwait. The 1990 airlift of Indians from Kuwait was carried out from 14 August to 11 October 1990 after the Invasion of Kuwait. Air India holds the Guinness Book of World Records for the most people evacuated by a civil airline as a result of this effort. The operation was carried out during the Persian Gulf War in 1990 to evacuate Indian expatriates from Kuwait and Iraq. It is believed to be the largest civilian evacuation in history.
    Being a so called third world country, with a struggling economy and with a crude oil supply crisis lurking at itself, the country carried out an unimaginable operation of Air Lifting and rescuing its 1,70,000 citizens from the war torn region by successfully negotiating with Saddam Hussain is a great achievement for the country and an eye opener for the so called First world countries.
    The Gulf crisis struck India like a double-edged sword, bleeding the foreign exchange reserves by hiking the oil import bill and eventually slashing a huge chunk of NRI remittances.
    It was yet another strong message by India to the world by showcasing strong will and capabilities in the hard times like this crisis.
    Jai Hind

#smilemore #Todayisfuture Little kids seem to be the only ones who enjoy their morning rides , to school. There are a couple of  exceptions though . If a guy is smiling even in heavy traffic , it means a girl is sitting behind him, on his bike. If a girl is smiling, it means,  her bestie is sitting behind her. Except for these few lucky souls,  I hardly find any happy faces on my morning drive to college. Life keeps throwing one tantrum after another, anyway. But is it necessary that we surrender with fear!! Makes me wonder, why doesn't a few years of experience with life, give the strength and confidence that you can handle anything that life throws at you now. What a waste is it to spend a decade of precious, beautiful life worrying about what might go wrong tomorrow, instead of enjoying and cherishing whats going right today. Whats even worse is, instead of regretting the wasted time and breaking the cycle of agony and fear, people start taking comfort in dismay ....

Balance.. Is it just me or is it another conspiracy of the universe. Whenever something goes wrong on one front, something else goes well on another side of your life almost around the same time. When some friend hurts you or you hurt someone unwillingly/unknowingly/impulsively(which hurts even more), some other old friendship or relation re-blooms and heals your present wound. A bad news is also followed by a good news more than we know. We seldom observe it because we are too drowned in sorrow already. All we need to do is observe the universe and its conspiracies very closely. For me it often feels like the universe wants to give you a compensation or solace for its mistake.  "Its mistake" because you are a part of "It". It can't see you unhappy for long. It allows you to stay unhappy only for as long as you learn from your mistakes. Its easier for the universe to maintain a balance of emotions and happiness in itself, only if more and more of us list...

#BeingYoung is not a child's play.. The fantasy that there is someone absolutely perfect for you somewhere out there in the real world is probably the very reason humanity hasn't gone extinct even after 200,000 years  of cumulative  experience of sapiens with life. While the fantasy comes true for a very small fraction of dreamers, the others are forced to wake up and smell the rotten reality. Going back to school after a long break gave me an opportunity to understand the present day's twenty-somethings and their constant fight with issues ranging from internet speed to finding love. Out of a wide range of requirements, two components seem to be necessary and sufficient for keeping themselves trendy and cool enough to achieve the approval of their peers. A don't care-attitude and being in a relation with someone. Even though its incomprehensible how these two qualities can co-exist, I managed to move past it and have some fiercely fun conversations with my Delh...
